Mom buys a different tractor and helps millions of women

For a long time, charming French women have been regarded as icons of elegance and style. And one of them decided to provide a dose of glamor and comfort to the difficult rural life. Thanks to that, she became a symbol in her city and helped millions of people who suffer from a dangerous disease.

O awesome.club invites you to learn more about the woman who became the owner of a very different tractor and to understand what led her to make this acquisition.

Caroline Deveaux from France unexpectedly became a celebrity in her hometown after buying a tractor from the Finnish brand Valtra, model N163 DU pink — the brand also operates here in Brazil. The pink tractor was from a limited edition, produced for raise awareness about breast cancer and also to raise funds for the treatment of the disease. Every 10 minutes in Britain alone, a woman is diagnosed with this condition.

When Caroline was asked why she had chosen that vehicle, the woman said: “Deep in my being, I’ve always been a bit of Barbie. It’s a day, at a fair in belgium i saw this tractor. I was curious and later found out that it had been made for help millions of people, so I decided to buy it on the spot”.

For 13 years, Caroline has been working on the family farm in Rocroi. She is the mother of three children: Maxime (10 years old), Justin (8 years old) and Charlotte (1 year old), and cultivates an area of ​​85 hectares, which is equivalent to approximately 119 soccer fields🇧🇷 Furthermore, raises sheep and feeds about 55 cats.

Above her tractor logo, the farmer put a heart, because your tractor is “a machine with a heart”. O pink, as you may know, is used by international organizations who support the fight against breast cancer🇧🇷 Caroline participates in social campaigns dedicated to raising funds for the development of treatments against this disease.

The idea of ​​making tractors with this somewhat different color started in 2013, when the Challenger company auctioned a large pink tractor and a series of toy copies of the vehicle🇧🇷 Proceeds from the sale were donated to the Lineberger Cancer Center at the University of North Carolina, USA.

Soon, this “challenge” was supported by Valtra, which belongs to the same Challenger group. For every pink tractor sold, the company donate 10,000 SEK to fund breast cancer research and cure millions of women on the planet.

Caroline also shared her impressions from a practical point of view: “On the outside, my tractor looks like a toy, but I love its power: It’s very easy to handle, it can pull 5 plows and it’s also my husband’s tractor. And at night, I turn on 14 lights on the tractor.

My ‘helper’ was also very practical: he features a video system, acoustic treatment and red leather trim🇧🇷 In addition, the cabin has heating. Now my kids watch graphics on DVD, while accompanying me at work”.

Initiatives with pink tractors to fight breast cancer do not stop. For example, as part of the “Race for Life” initiative — a British entity that promotes events to raise money for cancer research -, a pink tractor performs a summer tour at livestock fairs and other events across Britain.

Valtra’s Richard Miller says: “Using the pink tractor can draw even more attention to a serious problembecause this disease affects millions of women”.

By the way, Caroline always participates in these projects. One of them was a campaign in which bales of hay were wrapped in pink plastic to raise funds for surgeries and research.

“It’s just a small drop that I want to collaborate with to help heal others. At the same time, we already know that the most vulnerable are farmers. For this reason, many of my friends are already thinking seriously about buying one of these tractors. They like to help and feel feminine even when doing heavy rural work”.

Caroline was recently asked about her next plans, and she revealed her new idea🇧🇷 “I decided to put a pink logo on my products as a ‘message’ to my customers. Because my mission as a woman farmer is not only to take care of the harvest, but also to sow love and solidarity”.
